The aims of this study are the psycholinguistic investigation of notetaking as a form of knowledge transfer typical in higher education, the analysis of attitudes towards notetaking, and the collection of related best practices in education. The results are based on two sub-projects. On the one hand, the investigation was based on the notes of 46 university students with special attention to strategies and methods in notetaking. On the other hand, the analysis of an attitude questionnaire related to the strategies and methods used in notetaking was carried out. Special attention was paid to the pedagogical and teaching aspects of notetaking. This research project has shown that the support of notetaking and the introduction of notetaking strategies are almost completely missing in the education system. Based on the results, the outlook section of this study introduces ways in which supporting notetaking can be implemented.
